These ogre buffs are fantastic, he has around 14 base armor now. Also:

Seems like a lot of buffs to supports and nerfs to carries.
buy the veil of discord: now 200 gold off!!
tbh anita never bothered me, its just that almost every other carry was irrelevant
storm mana drain in the early/mid game will be quite a bit heavier
and yeah lesh will be returned to the shadow realm
Arc Warden's name and ability strings are in the files now. I think him and Pitlord will be here for Diretide.
I'll laugh if Zet gets in before Pitlord
Also, there is an unused item string in the files. "Divine Shield". Sadly they never filled out the lore or description, it just says "text".

Techies' mines are no longer triggered when destroyed
Techies' mines can now be destroyed using Quelling Blade/Battle Fury [?]
Techies' mines now provide 10 Gold for destroying them
Land Mines and Stasis Traps no longer block neutral spawns
Needs even more than this, but these are amazing. 10/10 patch

That ball lightning nerf will hurt him even in late game, 1% of his mana might not sound like much but it effectively lowers the range in which he can jump on you. You were looking for him to get nerfed into oblivion but that's not what IF aims for.
Now Shaker, that's a hero that didn't get nerfed enough.
And why the fuck did AM get an indirect buff. Manta now costs less mana and is lower CD AND BF is now cheaper.

no more damn damage gains from bloodseeker from heroes being at 99% hp makes me very happy
i would have personally preferred a stronger nerf than that and his heal being only slightly less potent at low levels, but adjusting his thirst scaling sounds like it will be very helpful for laning against seeker

don't think antimage is all that good, he just fits the meta real well. with lots of that shit nerfed, it seems probable he'll fall off regardless of changes.

Hmmm, I got the opposite impression, but I'm mainly a support player so maybe I'm just biased (my favs disruptor and lina got hit pretty hard, and shaker got a small nerf).
Almost all of the big winners (on paper) this patch are caries (luna, legion, wraith king, terrorblade, mirana, morphling, lycan, lifestealer, chaos knight, tiny etc.). For supports it looks like it's just ogre, cm, shadow shaman, lich, venge and bane that got big buffs. Off course, techies nerfs are a huge plus for supports.

Spectre won. Also that -5 armor on chaos strike is kinda good.
The alch change is nothing. Still doesn't fix the issue that the hero is useless without being 6 slotted.

lumi currently playing him. tower diving as a rock golem
The Technomancer
card-carrying scientician
I think I like most of these changes

CARRY VENGE???
He was one of the top carries of last patch and he got buffed, I find that straight up weird.

Im kinda surprised TB didnt get any love with all the primary stat buffs that got handed out this patch.
Infested tower diving is pretty fun, and now I can as an ancient! That's neat.
I'm actually wondering how scary he can be now. If you get off a 4-5 man Reflection, manta and have a few illusions already you can get like 10 Meta illusions right?. Not sure what could withstand that.
Indirect buffs, I think. Manta, Heart, BF all cheaper or better.

Wait, how did AM get buffed apart from 0.1 -> 0.15 Mana Void at lvl 6? His Blink is lower range at rank 1/2/3 and the stun is lower at rank 2/3.

Right, but I think he was only a top carry because of that specific meta. With the heroes that defined that meta getting nerfed, that's probably a sufficient change to pull him down in usage/winrate.
